SUSTAINABLITY STUDIO Hong Kong

During my Masters program in Singapore was privilaged to be part of and participate in the intense and integrated studio thesis project. The thesis dealt with various layers of sustainablity themes analysing and assessing various scenarios under the defined parameters. Well known jury members were part of the evaluation team. The studio was led by one of the leading sustainablity advocates in the region Prof. Nirmal Kumar Kishnani.

The programme is taught by highly qualified professors who offer cross-disciplinary viewpoints and undertake cutting-edge research. In-house teaching is augmented with masterclasses run by internationally renowned scholars and practitioners. Past masterclasses have included architects, WOHA, and climate engineers, Transsolar KlimaEngineering. The two integrated studio projects channel theory into problem-solving. Here, emphasis is placed on strategic, critical and collaborative thinking, past textbook learning. The programme examines different scales of the built environment. The first semester is devoted to the building scale; the second probes the urban. Students discover why scale matters to a discussion on sustainability; they are taught to visualise the interdependency of engineered, spatial and landscape elements, and to frame buildings within neighbourhoods, and neighbourhoods within cities.
